Quilty goodness comes in smaller packages, too

I've been building my habit of doing a little every day, and that has led to to start (and finish!!!) smaller projects.
This week alone, I've started and finished both a pair of oven mitts and a bookmark.
The mitts are for me, since DD took our old ones with her.
The bookmark is for a friend who loves to read so much, she has her own reading room. Hopefully this will make her reading even more pleasurable.


For both projects, I used a quilt stitch from my 440QE - makes a pretty stitch, don't you think? There's also a picture of the lining.


True confessions: the oven mitts are a little wonky. In fact, if a person had the top joint of one thumb cut off, they wouldn't be wonky at all - they would b a custom fit. But sadly I have all my thumb joints, so wonky it is.
And I'm not changing it, because Done is Better than Perfect.
